indeed i must say that styling generally depends on the person-its incredible how the media can dictate and force opinions of what they think looks good.
trabitom99 sir i must say that the silver volvo 360 is wonderful

I would love both the Silver Volvo 360 and the Red 340 for myself very very much
Have any of you guys/gals had any people come up to you in the carpark to say "I used to have one" -That alone makes this car so great

I defo consider the volvo 300 series a classic design and a wonderful little gentleman of car

I drive a Trabant as a daily driver, and it can get REALLY annoying attracting too much attention sometimes ... I love getting back into the anonymity of my Volvo 360 where no-one knows what it is or gives a damn ...
Having said that though, after many years of 300-motoring, I recieved the first positive comment about the car from some random stranger while filling up recently ...

That silver GLT looks lovely...
Some people hate the 300 series, some people love it... I was driving along a year or so ago in my old saloon and some guy in a van in the next lane was frantically waving at me, who then shouted out his window to ask if I would sell it.
